Tasting note
The 2006 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Vigna Paganelli is huge, powerful and totally implosive. The seductive allure of the 2007 is nowhere to be found. Instead, the 2006 is built on a serious spine of formidable tannin and dark red/black fruit. Hints of tar, licorice, rose petals and tobacco inform the powerful, virile finish. The 2006 is going to require considerable patience, but it is clearly a jewel of a wine, even at this early stage. Anticipated maturity: 2016-2046. Score - 97. (Antonio Galloni, erobertparker.com, April 2012)
Characteristics: Intense ruby red, elegant nose with notes of red fruit, leather and spices; persistent, balanced flavour, with long seductive finish. Serving suggestions: Red meats, game, accompanied by mushrooms or truffles, mature cheeses.
